DALLAS – Wednesday morning would be the begin of an lively few days for North Texas. The storm possibilities begin Wednesday and can proceed by Saturday morning.

Wednesday

North Texans will see some storms early, primarily north of Dallas-Fort Price, forward of a chilly entrance. They may have gusty winds and pocket-change-sized hail. 

By 8 a.m. the storms shall be within the northern counties and simply west of Fort Price. By 10 a.m. the storms shall be within the Metroplex. By midday, the storms shall be shifting east. 

The precise chilly entrance will transfer by the metroplex by midday. Fast storms are doable alongside the entrance. 

As soon as it strikes by, the remainder of the afternoon dries out and will get heat (80s). 

The storm possibilities will proceed into the afternoon hours for areas east of the metroplex, and the environment will keep humid.

Wednesday Evening Storms

The entrance will stall south of the world, then carry again north tonight. Because it does, storms will once more develop as a powerful disturbance heads in.

The chance for giant hail nonetheless exists inside the strongest cells after midnight. We’ll seemingly see storms provoke within the midnight to 2 a.m. time-frame as a disturbance heads in. 

Hail may very well be at the least 2″ in diameter, but again, not for everyone.  The best chances to see these will be from DFW (I-20) and north.

Thursday

The showers and storms will then exit in the morning, leaving a good chunk of North Texas on the cooler side of the front. 

Temps will range from the 60s to the north and west to the 70s in the DFW area and the 80s to the east and southeast. 

While we can’t rule out a shower or storm in the afternoon or evening. Coverage would be low.

Friday into Saturday

The main upper-level storm responsible for the active weather will remain in the desert SW Friday before moving out Friday night into Saturday. That will cause rounds of rain/storms to develop. It will be on the cooler side and there will be heavy rain. 

East and southeast of DFW will be on the warmer side and could easily see severe weather, including a tornado risk. The highest coverage will be overnight Friday, which will exit quickly Saturday morning.

By Saturday afternoon, we will be on the windy, cooler side of the storm. Temps will only be in the 60s with brisk northern winds and clouds. There’s a low chance for patchy rain west/NW of the DFW area as well. PM-eve hours. Not a real spring day for sure.

A Chilly Sunday

Sunday is dry but chilly as north breezes continue. Wind chills in the 30s to start the day! Clouds will start to break up, but we’ll struggle to get out of the 50s, with the “common” here about 75.

Monday starts cold (some 30s in outlying areas) before moderating with the sun into the mid 60s. Nice, but for early March, not early April. 

Tuesday should continue heading back up although still below average.

Realistically, next week looks VERY QUIET compared to this week. We’ll take it!
